Implication: The E190 provided a unique opportunity for the growth of JetBlue. However, this plane did not completely match the company’s current capabilities and costed a lot.

Week 3 – Boeing Case Study Questions 1 & 2 The purpose of a diagnostic model is to give an organization an area in which to improve and help them to meet goals. The most logical choice for Boeing to use in this case is the 7-2 framework. Boeing was facing strong competition and they had made plans to implement a change in order to improve the company structure so they could become more competitive. Boeing also faced several issues in this case. They were not living up to the demand for their services, and had technology systems that were outdated.
Making sure that product is manufactured on time (taking into account any delays that may arise from overseas manufacturers) and ready for distribution when the consumer needs it. It is very hard for the dealerships to be able put their names behind a product that is difficult to keep in stock as todays consumers are on a “I want it now” basis. The advantage to this strategy is that if you have marketed and advertised properly, there will be demand at the dealerships from your product. If you are able to keep the dealerships properly stocked, then they will be pleased, as well as the customers and you will make your money back from all that costly advertising. A disadvantage would be that it will take resources to be able to keep items in constant stock and staff to ensure that logistics is running
Based on the book when there are competitive markets such as airlines, a company certainly needs to look at costs and revenue very closely. (Brickley, Smith, & Zimmerman, 2009, p. 180) In this case I believe that the flights from San Francisco t Washington DC should be discontinued. Even though United Airlines is a large company and profitable if they continue these flights in the long run they will lose money. The other option that they would have would be to increase the fares to cover those costs, but since the airline industry is a competitive market people are more likely to go with a lower cost airline. The first thing the airline must do is look at the firm supply.
An Analysis of Southwest Airline Strategy Using SWOT Concept Joseph, F. Okpe University of Maryland University College An Analysis of Southwest Airline Strategy Using SWOT Concept Faced with continuing economic pressure, mounting competition, and a constantly evolving hyper-competitive business environment business organizations worldwide are being forced to radically change and reinvent their strategies and/or business models or face extinction. The winning strategy is one that enables a company to outperform its competition in terms of long term competitive advantage in the market i.e., profitability, cost reduction, customer satisfaction, product and service delivery innovation, production efficiency, production differentiation, and cheap but qualitative products and services (Boone & Kurtz, p. 273, 2006). According to Thompson (p. 1, 2010) a successful strategy is one that sets a company apart from its rivals and create a competitively advantage over the long run, simply by causing an attractive numbers of buyers to have lasting reason to patronize a company’s product’s as opposed to that of its competitors. Southwest Airlines is a prime example of a company in a very competitive industry that has perfected its business strategy and model and in the process gained competitive advantage over its rivals simply by providing customers with what they perceive as superior value services compared to the offerings of rivals airlines. Superior value can mean a good product (or services) at a lower price; a superior product or service that is worth paying for; or a best-value offering that represents an attractive combination of price, features, quality, service, and other appealing attributes (Thompson, p. 87, 2010).
In times of kings and queens people would speak of leaders to prideful that they can not see past the truth they do not realize their own corruption. Pride can be many people’s downfall, and it also can be peoples push to the top. Like Oedipus, he showed so much hubris that eventually leads him to his fall.
